Listen "Epstein Files: Nothing, Everything, or Something Else?"
Episode Synopsis
Duration: 47:20 | Recorded on July 19, 2025S2E21 - Kent and Kyle tackle the renewed attention on the Jeffrey Epstein case—what’s really behind the delays and redactions, why the public still demands answers, and how Trump’s response has fractured his own base. The brothers explore three core theories: there’s truly nothing to see, the truth implicates too many powerful figures, or Epstein was tied to intelligence agencies from the start. With frustration mounting over gaslighting and missed opportunities for transparency, their conversation turns to political fallout, moral leadership, and the shifting ground of public trust. A candid and sometimes raw exchange between brothers that spans conspiracies, personal disillusionment, and the hope for real dialogue beyond partisan lines.Featured Spirits:Green River Full Proof BourbonPlanteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple-Infused Rum (3 rounds in)Show NotesEric Weinstein featured on Modern Wisdom (on Epstein’s inexplicable wealth and behavior)Wall Street Journal report on Trump’s letter linked to EpsteinComments by former AG Alex Acosta suggesting Epstein had intelligence tiesSenator Ron Wyden’s investigation into financial transactions linked to EpsteinEzra Klein’s New York Times podcast take on Trump’s political future
